Re: PCMCIA kernel panic

["Robert Page" <robert.page@mwr.biz>]

Hi,

        Thanks for this, unfortunately it didn't work. I tried this but it
seems to be a slightly different problem. The kernel panic happens whether a
PCMCIA card is plugged in or not. I can boot the machine with or if I remove
pcmica from /etc/init.d.
